The nominating period for Burbank's 2013 municipal election closed Friday evening, with six candidates running for three City Council seats, four running for two school board seats, three for city clerk and one for city treasurer, officials reported.
Since school board member John Dilibert — who was appointed to the position in August — chose not to run, the nomination period for his seat has been extended until Dec. 5 at 5 p.m.
"There are people that are intimidated to run against the incumbent," said Deputy City Clerk Susan Domen, adding that would-be candidates may change their minds once they learn an incumbent isn't vying for the position.
